Chapter 22: Civilization in the Palm of Your Hand

Just before Joshua was ready to leave.

With the faint fluctuation of divine power, a hazy white mist suddenly appeared in the void around the silver star, and in a silent moment, the light points of divine power condensed, and a slender silhouette appeared in the white mist.

In the next moment, the silhouette stepped out of the mist and came to Joshua's side.

Wearing a veil and holding a skull in his arms, the most mysterious of the seven gods, the god of life, walked barefoot and thus appeared before the warrior's body.

The god of life has long hair that hangs down to his ankles, as smooth as snow, white hair without wind and automatic, slowly floating in the void with the fluctuation of divine power, coupled with the white skin and a white dress, at a glance, he seems to have stepped out of a world without color, only a white background and black lines outlined.

Because of the veil, Joshua could not see the face of the god of life, and with the almost motionless movements and postures of the other party, he naturally could not distinguish gender...... But to the gods, this is perhaps the least important thing.

"God of Life......

Joshua didn't wonder that the gods would come out - after all, the Mycrof world civilization may be on the verge of civil war because of the evil gods now, and as the guardian of civilization, it is normal for the Seven to send someone to communicate with him, but just when the warrior was about to ask the god of life why he came here, he realized that he actually or did not know the 'other name' of the god of life.

IN ADDITION TO THEIR OWN PRIESTHOOD NAMES, THE SEVEN GODS WILL ALSO HAVE OTHER NAMES FOR CONVENIENCE AND TITLESβ€”FOR EXAMPLE, THE GOD OF POWER AND JUSTICE, ALSO KNOWN AS 'SINZIN', AND THE GOD OF LOVE AND DECAY, ALSO KNOWN AS 'YOLANDA'. Basically, in addition to the formal sacrifices, the daily prayers and pronouns of the followers of the Seven Gods are called by other names, which are convenient for them and do not affect the nature of their priesthood.

But the god of life is a little different...... Although the God of Life has the title of 'Great Source', it is only a supplement to the priesthood of 'Great Source of Life', not another name for Him.

The god of life is also the only one among the seven gods who does not have a relative priesthood, but only a single life priesthood.

"Joshua Van Radcliffe."

An ethereal, wind-chime-like voice rang out, and the incarnation of the God of Life stood in front of the silver star, and he raised his head slightly to look at the silver star's ecliptic: "You plan to go to the world of the Chartresses and help them find out the real cause of the civil strife, and then calm the strife in that world?" ”

The God of Life's tone was flat and emotionless, and even if he asked, it was as undulating as a declarative sentence, and he raised his snow-white neck slightly, and said softly, "You're going to help them, aren't you?" ”

"That's true, helping this group of otherworldly creatures who are in civil strife but have not yet self-destructed is a good opportunity to gather information about the evil gods."

Joshua did not deny his thoughts, and in the face of the God of Life who spoke directly, he also replied bluntly: "I think that there is an evil god at the bottom of the abyss that is being bred, and before facing it head-on, I need to gather some information about the nature of its power, at least know its 'name'. This is a good opportunity, and I may be able to directly see the moment when the power of the evil god attacks. ”

And after hearing Joshua's answer, the god of life nodded slightly, as if in approval.

But what he said next was a complete question.

"In that case, does that mean you'd rather help other civilizations settle their strife than use your own power to bring peace to the world of Mycrof?"

The tone of the God of Life, without accusation or emphasis, is just a bland narrative of the facts: "You intend to help outsiders, but you turn a blind eye to the strife of your own civilization? ”

This is a very painful question, if you are an ordinary person, you will definitely think about how to get rid of this high hat that the god of life inadvertently put on you, and explain your opinion, not to turn a blind eye to the Microf civilization.

But for Joshua, such a question did not make the slightest sense.

"yes, anyway, that's pretty much it."

The surface of the silver star, with a light of 'approval' flashing, replied, "Actually, that's it, I'd rather help other civilizations than make a random move in the McCrove world and interrupt the historical process of strife. ”

In an inexplicable tone, Joshua said to the God of Life: "After all, it is the world I live in, the civilization I belong to, and I hope that it can have the ability to deal with, bear and survive this catastrophe alone...... And not like this group of weaklings. ”

Speaking of this, Joshua looked at Selma, who had fainted directly because of the appearance of the true god, and he turned his head to look at the fortress not far away, his eyes looked directly at those Charts, and the warrior said in a deep voice: "Look at these people. Look at these weaklings. ”

"In the face of the civil strife of civilization and the collapse of society, their military power, individual power, and even the power of the strong are powerless against it, so these weak people can only pray to me, to ask for the help of others, to sΓ© down to their civilization machinery, and forcibly solve this problem."

The God of Life did not say anything about this reply, he just continued to nod his head and did not say anything, but Joshua, he moved his gaze, looked up at the Vanguard Fortress community, and said in a flat but confident, even slightly arrogant tone: What's more, this is the civilization I live in, it is the Microf civilization. ”

- So, they should be better than others

- They have the possibility of successfully ending this internal contradiction without forceful intervention, by political means or by reforming the social system.

Compared to the ordinary practice of being helped by the strong and then stepping out of the difficult situation, the Mycrof civilization has the potential and strength, and has a better future, and they do not need help, because they themselves will grow enough to solve the problem and achieve their own sublimation, without the help of others.

Because of this, Joshua is reluctant to act at will and affect the growth of civilization itself...... As for the Chartresses, it was not Mrs. McCro, their future, the warriors did not care.

What's more, the other party is not a problem of pulling out seedlings to help grow, the fires of civil strife are about to burn the farmland to the ground, at this time, it is meaningless to dwell on what the future is, and if you don't make a move, the Chartresses may be extinct like those abyss demons.

"Very good explanation." Hearing Joshua's words, he thought for a while, and even the God of Life couldn't help but nod, but soon, he whispered again: "But even so, there will be some people who will die because of this, won't they?" If you can stay in Mycrof, then all the losses will be invisible, and even may not exist. ”

"Your departure could cause a large number of deaths that should have been avoided." He said this, his tone still calm, without the slightest wave.

And Joshua sneered, shook his head and replied, "Me? ”

"I've done a lot since Starfall 831. What's more, Moldavia also has an avatar of mine, which can be deployed in a real crisis, so I am not completely indifferent, but just as a fuse - to be honest, I can even say that without me, the future of Mycrove's civilization would definitely be worse than it is now. ”

As for what has not happened in the future, Joshua has always been unimpressed, and even dismissive, he laughed in a low voice: "What's more, if I really use my own strength to build houses for refugees, clean up pollution, and suppress the contradictions between the nobles of the Northern Empire...... If I had been so straightforward in the past, arrogantly solving all the problems alone. ”

"If I really do this, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting civilization in the palm of my own hand, like caring for a baby, taking care of it in every way?"

To be able to save means to be able to destroy, when a civilization itself can be rescued and destroyed by the extraordinary strong at will, then can civilization be equal to the strong?

Of course not.

If it comes to this point, no matter how great a civilization is, it is only in the hands of the strong, and it can be played with and cut at will, just like cutting the branches and leaves of a garden, 'a potted plant in the palm of the hand'.

This is the answer that Joshua had come to from the bottom of his heart when he was cleaning the Black Forest Fortress by himself, and when he could theoretically create a 'paradise of peace' that truly put the world under his control, he clearly knew how terrifying a super-strong man could be to a threat to civilization.

It was a threat that only a thought struck and could easily wipe out countless possibilities...... Whether it is a legendary powerhouse or a god, as long as you are too involved in the process of transforming the world, it will be the same result.

The Seven Gods, who have been observing the reincarnation of the world for thousands of years, is actually the most rational and long-term approach, but I don't know why, the God of Life comes alone to ask such questions.

"God of life, maybe it is difficult for you gods who have escaped from the world, watched reincarnation, and have no desires to understand."

Joshua probably knew the purpose of the God of Life coming here to meet him, so he flashed his light spot, 'shook his head' and said, "This kind of arrogance that replaces civilization and solves everything really can't corrupt us now, but what about the future?" ”

"If civilization itself is accustomed to the care of the strong, so it doesn't care about any related issues, or even takes it for granted, then is it possible for such a civilization to give birth to the strong? If a strong man who leads civilization forward and can put a potted plant of civilization in his hands suddenly makes a fool and intends to go his own way and go to a desperate road that he knows is wrong, then at that time, can civilization and ordinary people in civilization break away from this strong man and move forward alone? ”
